Hans (aka Neuman KU80)

Hans is one of the more mysterious members of the Frisson team albeit an important one. Born as KU 80 in Germany (we're not sure exactly when), his birth family, Neumann, was a great name in audio engineering. Hans was raised on a strict diet of audio for the purpose of becoming some of the greatest ears in the industry. His species is quite rare (there are less than 100 of his kind in the entire world).

Sometimes "mean looking" scientists want to do tests on him. We like to think of him as an adopted child, not some "freak of nature".

Hans has a ton of un-published album credits and is very happy to be a part of our team (he is constantly smiling). We are just as happy to have him on board. We will be sure to introduce you to him should you come to Studio Frisson.
